I've been on edge all weekend long with this story but I really lost it when I heard the story of the 27 year old teacher who hid her children in the bathroom... The gunman came in, she told him they left and he gunned her down

Some of the kiddies heard the conversation and got scared so six of them ran out of the bathroom and he gunned them down too. When the police officers came to the classroom, they saw all those bodies. When they were searching the room they opened the bathroom and found 7 pairs of eyes staring back at them

Well there's def more police presence at my daughter's school. We usually have one directing traffic and sometimes another in the parking lot. This week there's been twoIn the parking lot all week.

They've also locked the outside doors so we have to ring a bell to be let in. Sign in then go to the office and check in there. I must say I'm very please with their actions. Especially since we used to be able to just go in and could wander around if u really wanted to.

North Carolina Tea Party announces raffle to give away machine gun

In the wake of a tragic mass shooting, the Tea Party gives away guns.

The Tea Party of Asheville, North Carolina announced "The Great Gun Giveaway"
Dec. 17 on their official website which says, "The patriotic Americans
who brought you the 'Machine Gun Social' are pleased to announce the
introduction of a brand new fundraiser..."

Being offered by the conservative group is an opportunity to win two
separate weapons. For a mere $20 donation any person of legal age is
eligible to win a $1,500 machine gun known as the AR-15
with two 30 round clips. For another $10 donation the donator is
eligible to win a .22 caliber magnum pistol with a single 30 round clip.

This was released to the media…from the mother of 6 year-old Noah Pozner.

This was her eulogy…

“The sky is crying, and the flags are at half-mast. It is a sad, sad day. But it is also your day, Noah, my little man. I will miss your forceful and purposeful little steps stomping through our house. I will miss your perpetual smile, the twinkle in your dark blue eyes, framed by eyelashes that would be the envy of any lady in this room.

Most of all, I will miss your visions of your future. You wanted to be a doctor, a soldier, a taco factory manager. It was your favorite food, and no doubt you wanted to ensure that the world kept producing tacos.

You were a little boy whose life force had all the gravitational pull of a celestial body. You were light and love, mischief and pranks. You adored your family with every fiber of your 6-year-old being. We are all of us elevated in our humanity by having known you. A little maverick, who didn’t always want to do his schoolwork or clean up his toys, when practicing his ninja moves or Super Mario on the Wii seemed far more important.

Noah, you will not pass through this way again. I can only believe that you were planted on Earth to bloom in heaven. Take flight, my boy. Soar. You now have the wings you always wanted. Go to that peaceful valley that we will all one day come to know. I will join you someday. Not today. I still have lots of mommy love to give to Danielle, Michael, Sophia and Arielle.

i can vividly remember names and faces from this tragedy days after i've seen the pix...usually when this happens i forget faces pretty quickly.

someone at work was defending his right to collect guns. i just can't...whatever happened to the greater good?

they don't care about the greater good. it is about themselves. apparently any sort of restrictions on guns is similar to communism.

Would banning certain types of bullets keep everyone happy and make an impact in your opinion?

no. people would still bitch

it may help, but again, there is a larger issue here. why does one feel the need to own an assault rifle? why do you need 5 AR-15s in your home, regardless of where they are stored? saying "this is america, so I can" isn't cutting anymore.

I personally feel that just b/c the constitution has the 2nd Amendment doesn't mean that you get to have whatever kind of gun you want and have absolute freedom over it. that's not why it was originally put in the constitution and a lot of people using

Saying that our forefathers would want us to protect ourselves is BS...i'm sure the ppl that wrote/signed the constitution would have never imagined the type of weaponry that we have. they had some damn muzzleloaders. not the same thing.
